DYNAMO-ELECTRIC MACHINE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 322,310, dated July 14,1885.

Application filed March 11, 1885. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that CHARLES F. RUsET, deceased, formerly of Cleveland, inthe county of Ouyahoga and State of Ohio, did invent 5 certain new anduseful Improvements in Electrical Machines; and I do hereby declare thefollowing to be a full, clear, and exact descrip tion of the invention,such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains tomake and use the same.

The invention relates to improvements in electrical machines; and itconsists in certain features of construction and in combination of partshereinalter described,and pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side View in elevation of anapparatus embodying the invention. Fig. 2 is a plan view of thesupporting parts for the field-magnets. Figs. 3 and i are plan views ofthe respective end plates forming the armatures.

A represents a steam-generator, with a firebox, a, inside and grateba-rsa, with doors, dampers, and ash-pit arranged in the usual manner of thisclass of boilers. The boiler is mounted on legs A, and these in turnrest on glass plates A or other suitable insulating material, theinsulation of the boiler being the object of this part of the device,and may be attained in any suitable manner with or without the legs.Legs A are secured on top of the boiler, that support the balance of theapparatus. A supporting-frame is formed of the tubes B and B and theplates 0. The plates C have holes 0, that register with each other intheir respective plates, and through which the said tubes pass, thetubes being provided on either side of the respective plates withjam-nuts, as shown in Fig. 1. Between the plates C, but insulatedtherefrom by the rubber plates are the field-magnets 1), two or more innumber. Openings 0 through the plates 0 allow the cores (1 of thesemagnets to pass through these plates without contact, so that the endsof these cores are flush with the outside of these plates, or may extenda trifle beyond. The magnets are of the usual construction; but as thesemagnets receive the electric current from two armatures the wire iscorrespondingly large as compared with the wire of the armaturcs.

E are rotary steam-engines, of ordinary construction, that receive steamthrough the tubes B, these tubes being connected in the center with thetubes B, that lead to the steam-space in the boiler.

E are the exhaust-pipes for the engines. These engines have verticalspindles e, terminating below in conoidal points that are supported inthe usual manner by suitable stepping, (not shown,) the object of suchconstruction being to reduce the friction to a minimum and to supportthe spindles, so that they will bear equally on the sides of thestuffingboXes where the spindles pass out of the engine-casing.

To theengine shafts or spindles e are attached, respectively, thecommutators e and the hubs 0 with the arms 6 that support the armatnres.

The armatures consistof two or more spools, F, usually an even number,secured etween the plates G and G, (see Figs. 3 and 4,) the latterplates having orifices through which the cores f of the spools Fprotrude, and the arrangement of parts is such that the ends of thesecores f as the armature is revolved sweep over the ends of the cores (1and about as close to the latter as may be without colliding. The spoolsF are wound with insulated wire, connected with the commutators e in theusual manner. The two engines are arranged to run in opposite directionsBrushes M operate on the commutators in the usual manner, and havebinding-posts m, to which are attached the wires on, all of the ordinaryconstruction.

In a dynamo-electrical machine, armaturesarranged on vertical spindles, and respectively on opposite sides of thefield-mag nets, rotary engines connected respectively with said spindlesand arranged to revolve In testimony whereolI sign this specifica- 10the armatnres in opposite directions, snbstantion, in the presence oftwo witnesses, this 9th tially as set forth. day of March, 1885.
